This report captures the current state of IoT technology in smallholder agriculture in Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) countries, challenges and opportunities, and our recommendations. Challenges and opportunities are arranged into four main categories of (a) sensor technology (access to components, sensor calibration, device design, access to advice and expertise), (b) implementation of the IoT system (IoT business model including a clear path toward attractive monetization, remoteness of _location, connectivity, data transmission cost, and equity of access) (c) analysis and decision support (raw sensor measurements, smartphone penetration, and data transparency), and (d) other. The recommendations are directed toward donors, including USAID and similar organizations.

The number of mobile broadband connections per 100 inhabitants in Kenya was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 14.6 connections (+21.68 percent). After the tenth consecutive increasing year, the mobile broadband penetration is estimated to reach 81.9 connections and therefore a new peak in 2029. Mobile broadband connections include cellular connections with a download speed of at least 256 kbit/s (without satellite or fixed-wireless connections). Cellular Internet-of-Things (IoT) or machine-to-machine (M2M) connections are excluded. The shown data are an excerpt of Statista's Key Market Indicators (KMI). The KMI are a collection of primary and secondary indicators on the macro-economic, demographic and technological environment in up to 150 countries and regions worldwide. All indicators are sourced from international and national statistical offices, trade associations and the trade press and they are processed to generate comparable data sets (see supplementary notes under details for more information).Find more key insights for the number of mobile broadband connections per 100 inhabitants in countries like Tanzania and Mozambique.
